Cyclone Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 MPs are running the country, councils run local areas... Councils have had funding cut massively, what makes you think that they haven't made redundant everyone they can already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrystottle Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The Government are playing a clever, but cruel game with local government finance. This despite the fact that they claim to support devolving power and finance to local authorities. They are lying, of course. I certainly hope so, seeing as "English Devolution" is actually nothing of the sort but rather part of a long term plan for an "EU of the regions".

sheff1johnny Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 MPs are running the country, councils run local areas... Councils have had funding cut massively, what makes you think that they haven't made redundant everyone they can already? I'm not saying they haven't, I'm just saying its worth looking at seeing if these posts could be reduced. I feel it should be looked into that's all. The people at the bottom ate usually first to go. Austerity looks after the rich at the expense of the poor. Have you also noticed in terms of percentage Labour councils have had there money cut the most.

Happ Hazzard Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 These salaries constitiute what fraction of 1% of the £1.3 billion of council spending. These salaries are pretty much par for the course nationally in local government, health etc and a lot less than jobs in the private sector managing the same level of spend, staff management responsibility etc- and have their arms tied much more by having to meet increasing demands from increased legislation and demographic changes with less money to spend. Jobs in the private sector are far more demanding as private sector companies have to make a profit and have competitors. Public sector jobs have none of that.

Narden Dee Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Jobs in the private sector are far more demanding as private sector companies have to make a profit and have competitors. Public sector jobs have none of that. Nonsense and a mass generalisation. An example is that public sector have legal requirements to deliver certain things private sector have no requirements and so can drop anything they feel won't make a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Why do sf merge threads and make most threads incomprehensible A lot of relevent information has been lost in the merging of these two threads which were looking at it from different viewpoints, in fact they haven't been merged so much as oblierated.

Longcol Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Theres some lovely made up jobs for the boys in that list. instead of cutting services they could start by getting rid of half of these fancy ,pointless positions . They have a director in public heallth on 98k , but also feel the need to pay a consultant 81k . And what the hell is an "Executive director of place " ? and an "executive director of CYPF " both creaming 141K a year. I'd guess CYPF is Children, Young People & Families - ie Social Services. By process of elimination (ie whats missing from the Senior Directors) I'm guessing "Place" is Finance Director. I think job titles should be comprehensible to the general public as far as possible. D'oh - wrong on "Place" Directorates and responsibilities here; https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/roles-who/management-team.html Edited March 7, 2015 by Longcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
